Your sunscreen and hat are your best friends
If it's raining at the beach, it doesn't mean it's raining elsewhere in Sinaloa. The different regions of Sinaloa experience slightly different climates. It can be hot in the coastal plains, but it's much cooler in the central valleys and the eastern mountains. Sinaloa vacation rentals are busiest from June to August, the region's summer months, though they get a lot of wintertime bookings from December to February as well. Don't forget your hat and sunscreen when going down to Sinaloa—the sunshine is always strong.
From the Western Sierras to the coastal plains
In Sinaloa, you're not likely to notice sudden changes in terrain. The Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range on the region's eastern side gently slopes down to the central valleys, which then descend to the coastal plains facing the Pacific Ocean. The eastern mountains feature deep canyons and gorges, home to wild cats and boars. Portions of the coastal plains are hilly, while the flat central valleys are converted mostly to farmland, especially around Culiacan. A number of shallow rivers cross the region and save it from being too dry.
